¹It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality amongst you , and such sexual immorality as is not even named amongst the Gentiles , that one has his father ’s wife .

²You are arrogant , and didn’t mourn instead , that he who had done this deed might be removed from amongst you .

³For I most certainly , as being absent in body but present in spirit , have already , as though I were present , judged him who has done this thing .

⁴In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ , when you are gathered together with my spirit with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ ,

⁵you are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh , that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus .

⁶Your boasting is not good . Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump ?

⁷Purge out the old yeast , that you may be a new lump , even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ , our Passover , has been sacrificed in our place .

⁸Therefore let ’s keep the feast , not with old yeast , neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness , but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

⁹I wrote to you in my letter to have no company with sexual sinners;

¹⁰yet not at all meaning with the sexual sinners of this world , or with the covetous and extortionists, or with idolaters , for then you would have to leave the world .

¹¹But as it is , I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous , or an idolater , or a slanderer, or a drunkard , or an extortionist. Don’t even eat with such a person .

¹²For what do I have to do with also judging those who are outside ? Don’t you judge those who are within ?

¹³But those who are outside , God judges . “Put away the wicked man from amongst yourselves .”[#Deuteronomy 17:7; 19:19; 21:21; 22:21; 24:7]
